Today we are excited to announce that DreamHack will be expanding further by adding an event hosted in France next year! From May 8th to 10th 2015, DreamHack will take over France, hosting both a LAN party as well as international esports competitions, DreamHack France is guaranteed to be massive!
DreamHack is a global leader in electronic sports, and record holder in the Guinness Book of World Records for hosting the world’s biggest LAN party. Created in 1994, DreamHack has since expanded internationally, now hosting events in Spain (DreamHack Valencia), Romania (DreamHack Bucharest), and Russia (DreamHack Moscow). DreamHack France will be the fifth country to be hosting DreamHack events.
“It is with great pride and joy that we are able to announce the DreamHack France will take place next year. DreamHack events are highly anticipated, and to be given the opportunity to organize an event on French soil is both an honor and a challenge, DreamHack is truly a unique experience for all video games fans,” says Jean-Christophe Arnaud, General Manager at Malorian SARL and DreamHack France event coordinator.
“To finally have a DreamHack event in France is something that makes me both personally happy as well as happy for French esports fans,” Said Robert Ohlén, CEO of DreamHack, “France being one of the pioneers in esports with a a rich history of great events. Allons-y mes amis!”
Full details are yet to be released, but for now we can announce that DreamHack France will host a large LAN party, and a fair dedicated to video games and esport competitions with international competitor and big prizes, in short everything that makes DreamHack.

|

Awesome! Sadly I have to watch online but it will still be great.

Nice to see Dreamhack in a normal country again
User was warned for this post
|
Lol, of course it will take place in Paris, where else :D But yeah, it's definitely possible to go over from Germany. I'd love to do that one day!
|
Wherever it will be in France, I will be there ! Oh god, I'm so hype for this ! One of the best move from DreamHack. I hope French crowd will be at least as good as for the Nation Wars !

Fuck yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !
Year 2015: booked.
EDIT: On a serious note, I wonder how Iron Squids and other french tournaments impacted that (if at all, though I think they at least had some weight).

I think Iron squid had a great impact on it, it showed there is quite a big Esport viwerbase in France. I just hope when Sc2 have to compete vs alot of other games, that the frence still chouse Sc2!

Cool! finally a DH near Italy! :D
|
pls come to Lyon, pls come to Lyon, pls come to Lyon ! Paris is shit.
+ Show Spoiler +
|
How dreamhack spectator venue is working? Are we to buy tickets or is the entry free? Anyway if it's in paris I will come no matter what! French people raise your baguettes and show the world we are best crowd here!
|
Please do NOT do it in Paris.
It's always in Paris. France is so much more than Paris and Paris is so ridiculously expensive.
|
|
|
if we can relive that passion of iron squid..... would be awesome
|
It'll most likely be in Paris, deal with it
|
|
|
for real? OMG! OMG!! Hype!!!!! Please make it Paris!!!
or any city easily reachable by TGV.
not Epinal, Mont de Marsan or those damn places where the masters are... (no offense to those city, but it s annoying to get down there for only 2 days)
|
Cool! They should team up with O'gaming and do Nation Wars 3. Would love to see that!

I might actually go to a live event for once.. not sure yet.. would be nice though.
|
WOUALLEZ! I'm so going to go this, I'm living in France next year. This will probably be my first live eSports event as well.
|
Oh that's awesome! The French crowd are incredible.
|
The parisian students aren't on holidays at this date :/
|
Yes, Paris is shit, but that's also the most convenient (transportation in the first place) place to run such events. Not to mention if you want a proper media coverage and other gosu stuff.... like.. mhh.. oh wait, Paris is definitely shit!
I'll be there, no matter what.
|
Wow such amazing news. Can't wait !!!
|
Could end up going to this one!

wowowowow really nice move i like, thanks robert !
|
Really curious to see how big they will go and if it will be a recurring thing. Maybe some competition for ESWC ? Since they droped DotA2 and SC2 and are not doing Heartstone, it would be great to have some international tournament on those games again in France.
|
Mister Ohlen expands his rule!
Let us see how the champagne ceremony goes.

Wow, this might even be possible for me to attend.

Hope for a french stream live : Believe in Pomf&Thud !!!

BEST
FUCKING
NEWS
EVER
You will not be disappointed robert !
We will be there ! We will cheer like dreamhack never saw before ! And we will make this the best dreamhack ever !
I hope it won't be in Paris. And I hope also that french crowd won't be disappointed by english casters.
My guess is porte de versailles or The parc des expo in Villepinte.
Porte de versailles would be the best tho ( they got good optical fiber, its actually IN fucking Paris and in a good neighborhood (ie : good image ) and they have tons of halls to chose from )
God i can't wait, everyone don't worry : we'll write you tons of guide on how to get there and where to stay (and good kebab addresses )...

make it England and all will be forgiven

Tbh Marseille is the only city that could prevent me from attending this DH. Paris is the most convenient, I'll be ok if it's Lyon or Lille.

Do it in Grenoble and get Tasteless as a caster.

Somewhere near Germany is the best :3

Took them long enough, but yeah, happy nonetheless. At least we're guaranteed to have a sold-out event in France, which would look really good on camera if DH is looking for more potential sponsors.

Man vs Wild featuring ForGG ( he already had Marseilles experience, he's MVP in terms of french surviving sessions )
Oh and lets not miss two of the most important questions :
Where will the afterparty will take place ? (meltdown is probably too small for the whole DH crew ) social club ? queen ?
And what KIND OF CHAMPAGNE WILL ROBERT BUY ? (this is france, you can't trick us with cheap stuff )

Isn't wine as cheap as water there? Carbonated wine can't be that much more expensive (except the most luxe brands).

Bad wine is cheap. Decent stuff gets expensive fast ! Also, champagne is not "carbonated wine"... ;_;

Lol, no. You can get awful wine for maybe €1.5 for a liter. But it's undrinkable for a normal human.
You can get decent wines for €3-4 minimum (75 cl), 5 times the price of a bottle of water.

It's the good thing about Paris. By train, it's 3h or less from London, Amsterdam, Brussels, western Germany. Pretty good location, even for non french esport fans.
The catch is the price of the hotels for visitors and of the venue for DH.

Well if you are willing to go in the suburbs you can find an hostel at 25-35 euros per night.
Paris itself would be 40-45 euros per night.
So its ok i guess, also i really depends on where would DH be.
(Lowest price hostels ofc )
Anyhow your fellow French TLers will be there to guide everyone on where you should stay and how to find low prices

But paris is a guaranteed HUGE success offline wise.

Even though Paris isn't the best city for youth hostels, you can find beds in those at even less than 20 euros per night if you start looking early. I mean you're probably going to spend the week end in a venue anyway or at least roaming around the city, so I don't see why you would need any kind of fancy bedroom.
And there is always the couchsurfing option which is very active in Paris ! Cheap is possible even in this city.

FInally a Dreamhack that might actually be affordable to travel too. French crowds always look lively too, should be a good one.

So it replaced Stockholm?

I have slowly lost interest in SC2 both playing and watching (still watch the finals of tournies where I can)... I've already warned my gf that I'm gonna go to this! Here's to the live experience reinvigorating the SC2 passion!

Paris is a cancerous, decaying, disgusting city. I hope it's not there.
If you disagree, it means you haven't seen all of Paris. I despise the city.

Why so violent man? You may have a bad experience in Paris, it is not the case for anybody. Also Paris is the center of all French transport network and most of the international connexion by train/airplane are done via Paris. It is simpler to go with Paris for international event but it is more expensive obviously.

Paris is the only city where MC goes (and he went to a LOT of places) and get his wallet stolen. Such a lovely place.

I "lost" (perhaps it was a pickpocket as I had never lost anything before, but I ll give it the benefit of the doubt) my wallet in DH valencia man, I m not going around telling everybody that Valencia sucks.
I still had a great experience in Valencia regardless.
One guy got his wallet stolen, it doesnt mean the whole city sucks!
As a Parisian, I agree that we have some issues with that (mostly subway/champs elysees), that Paris is a bit dirty and fairly expensive.
But go to New York for instance, or London, and you ll see the same.
Whether you like it or not, Paris is the best place to organise an international event because it is the center of the French transportation network.
That's why the LCS were there too, and it seems everything went well there even though it was in the 19th district.
edit: regardless of the city though, it d be great. Grenoble is amazing and has a lot of students too
As long as it s easily accessible by transportation it s fine.
Lorning! I wanna meet you in person! I ll have you take a picture with my CJ bandana! :p

Paris is the epitome of everything that is wrong with France and I'm not talking about grimy public transport.
I would love it for DH to be at Strasbourg. Nice and close to the German border so we can get our Knuddel friends to come, beautiful city, it's close to Belgium and Holland, etc.

I guess it gonna be in Paris...
I hope it gonna be a success but I am a bit unsure about that. :-/
|
Know it'll be a a great success.. Gotta love the DH series. Personally my fav of all time, GL all
|
Great news ! I may even be back in France at that time

If he got stolen at or near the Meltdown, it is known that the neighborhood is known for having pickpockets and that the bar itself has been the target for a couple of month of pickpocketing too. Got 2 friends that are regular customer got stolen their wallet there.
But I agree with GTB-Ball above basically you could get your wallet stolen in every single city basically it's just a matter of bad luck. I love how french people despise Paris and people living in it but that never experience living in paris. I have a scoop for you bros, lot's of parisian are actually people coming from other cities for work. I'm from Grenoble, it is a nice city but so is Paris. I didn't instantly changed into a butthurt stereotypical Parisian as soon as I step my foot in the capital.
Incognito I don't know what make you cause that hate but the words you use... damn it seems you hate Paris deep in your heart.

Do we know when Tickets are going to sell ? Now that we know the location ?
|
Great choice, France gives the biggest crowds in Europe
One suggestion for the players: going to strip clubs in Paris after the tournament is NOT recommended.
|
well one's thing for sure. I won't bring my wallet to e-sports events! So high crime :D :D
|
The OP hasn't been updated but the location has been known for a while:
Translation:
"Dreamhack is happy to announce that its first French edition will be held in Tours".
|
What's the size of the venue ? It's not listed on the Dreamhack website yet
